thats were the matco 42 inch pry bar comes in to play
If that's the case then the part is not worth installing.

Did you unbolt your h pipe? I had the same problem. The header was in the h pipe but it was to high up so i put a piece of wood between my h pipe and my car and pulled the h pipe down a little bit.So it lowered the back of the header a little bitAfter that it all went on fine.

actually everythign is off car exhaust wise.. putting on header then will do H etc.... NOW I bored out the holes on the header.. Why? because I measured the hole on the MAC and the original and the original bolt holes were larger so I got the same size drill bit and increased all sizes... GOOD NEWs: The bolt are going in better some crowbar but not much.. BAD NEWS the freeking oil dip stick thing just fell off. NOW what the Aitch EE double Hockey sticks is that all about?!?! How do i fix that?

haHA! nevermind I can barely see that dam hole for the dipstick but i found it... I think it prob just sets in there and the bolt on the dipstic is used to secure the head is also used to secure the dip in place too... THoughts?

The piece of metal that connects the dipstick to bolt onto the header broke on mine. So the dipstick is just chillin but its all good [sm=icon_rock.gif]
